Purpose: This is your final VFT. It should have all the information, text, images, graphs etc. Everything needs to be finalized for this draft. Once VFTs are posted, 1. Your group will present this in class - your group will have about 20 minutes to present the VFT in class and answer any questions from your peers. 2. After the talks, you will take a VFT from Dr. Owen's and/or Dr. Komoto's students.
A reminder of what should be in this final version:
1. A main/index page with links to all the other wikipages
2. At least one page on each of the following (you can have more however, if it works better with your information and style):
a. Objective - what someone taking the VFT will learn
b. Map[s] - of your study area
c. Background section - info on geology, geography, soils, vegetation, landforms, land features etc.
d. Stop 1 - location + collected info (GPS, temp, soil data), figures labeled properly/referred to in text, "geography" terms, etc.
e. Stop 2 - location + collected info (GPS, temp, soil data), figures labeled properly/referred to in text, "geography" terms, etc.
f. Stop 3 - location + collected info (GPS, temp, soil data), figures labeled properly/referred to in text, "geography" terms, etc.
g. Stop 4 - location + collected info (GPS, temp, soil data), figures labeled properly/referred to in text, "geography" terms, etc.
h. Conclusion - Summary of VFT, 1 additional question + citations [at a minimum, all references should be here or in a reference link]
3. Forward/back links between each of the pages.
------The total points is 100---
